Know before you buy
The seat height is 30 inches. This is standard for bar-height surfaces, typically measuring 40 to 42 inches from the floor to the top of the counter.
To maintain the leather, wipe it down regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or conditioners that could alter the finish.
Yes, the frame is built with corner-block and cleat construction, which is a high-quality method for ensuring long-term stability and preventing the joints from loosening over time.
The armless silhouette is specifically designed to tuck neatly under most bar overhangs, helping to save space and keep your walkway clear when the stools are not in use.
The stool features metal legs that could potentially scratch delicate surfaces. We recommend applying felt furniture pads to the bottom of the feet to protect your flooring.
